Your design will combine a black-and-white ink screenprint with color created by hand with colored pencils or acrylic paint. As artist Juan Chávez says, "I want students to utilize and play with technology, not worship it like a false idol.
THINK ABOUT:
Name one thing a family member told you that you know was a lie. Can men do more than women can? Are women smarter than men are? Do you believe everything you see on television or in textbooks? Why not?
CHOOSE AN ISSUE
Name an issue or message YOU feel needs to be "PROMOTED" within their community (or possibly globally).
QUESTION TRUTH
Create a slogan like "Just do it" or "Crack is Whack". It is best to have the saying be no more than 4 or 5 words. This is really the most difficult part of this project. Most students will simply write down a statement of the issue and be satisfied with it as the slogan. You will Reduce it to the least amount of words possible without losing its meaning. Rewrite it as necessary and exchange certain words with slang words you use everyday. Take your time on this. This is the intense portion of the project. Make your words meaningful.
Find PICTURES
This process of image creation could also be done using traditional photography, found images, copying machine, or stencils if you choose. Be creative.
